Edinburgh, July 4.  The marriage of Lord Stanley, to Lady
Betty Hamilton, gives general satisfaction in this country. 
On Saturday last the principal inhabitants of the abbey of
Holyrood House, where her ladyship was born, attended by
some gentlemen from Edinburgh attached to the family of
Hamilton, dined in a tavern within the abbey, on the
occasion. . . [6 lines with toasts drunk]  Every toast was
accompanied with a suitable air, by the whole band of musick
belonging to the regiment now lying in the Castle. . . The
band played three favourite tunes under the windows of the
apartment of the palace where her ladyship had her birth,
which were followed by loud Huzzas from a vast concourse of
people, . . .
